If you are looking for an amazing wedding venue look no further! Newlands is beyond incredible and we are so so happy we decide to book with them. Special mention to Michelle Lana in photography, Lisa in the design studio, Linda the DJ coordinator and Jessalyn/Charlene as our coordinator. You all made this experience incredible and such a dream day we will never forget. They are all so helpful and kind and truly know what they’re doing! There are so many choices of ballrooms to fit everyone’s needs. During our design appointment we didn’t feel pressured or tricked into paying outside of our budget and everything was explained so clearly. We found Newlands after being extremely disappointed by another venue. We attended one of the ClubWed showcases and we were hocked! We’d highly recommend attending a showcase if you can to help see everything come to light before your eyes. We’ve heard so many horror stories of vendors ghosting couples or being difficult or charging crazy amounts and we became more and more glad we went with Newlands. Everything is under one roof and boy do they do it well. We cannot recommend them enough! Even better they have vendors they work with and recommend which makes the search for additional vendors so much smoother and more trustworthy. The food was delicious, the cake was even better than we imagined, the decor was perfect and the photography was breathtaking. We couldn’t be happier and more pleased. Thank you Newlands for making our dreams come true and helping us have the wedding of our dreamsNewlands Golf & Country Club's reply:

Jordan Sent on 16/04/2025Amazing!!!
We had a wonderful experience with Newlands! The team made everything so simple to organize from decor to photography. Our highlight was definitely working with our coordinator, Jessalyn. Shew was very flexible and accommodating to our wedding needs. She gave open and honest options within our budget! I would highly recommend Newlands as a wedding venue for couples who do not have a lot of free time to manage all the details of their wedding by themselves. Again, the staff made wedding planning, photos, and decorations so seamless and relatively stress-free! -

Chelsea Sent on 31/03/2025Amazing wedding and experience with Newlands (except for one thing)
We were very happy with our wedding at Newlands—everything was beautiful, and the staff went above and beyond to make our day special. However, our experience with our assigned coordinator was disappointing.
The florals and decorations were stunning, exceeding our expectations. The staff were incredibly accommodating and ensured everything looked perfect. The food was excellent and our guests still give us complements to this day. The room captain was attentive, making sure we were well taken care of and that everything flowed smoothly. Our DJ kept the energy high and truly understood the vibe we wanted—our guests had an amazing time! Our photographer was also fantastic, capturing so many beautiful memories that we’ll cherish forever.
Originally, we had a different coordinator when we booked our wedding date, but partway through, we were assigned a new one, Cha*****. My partner and I were eager to dive into the process, but unfortunately, communication was inconsistent from the start. We often had to reach out to get things scheduled and clarify details. At the same time, two of our friends were planning weddings at the same venue with a different coordinator, and their experience was noticeably smoother.
From our first in-person meeting, it was clear that Cha***** was not particularly engaged in our wedding. She wasn’t personable, and many of our vendors and bridal party members picked up on the same thing. Important details were overlooked—we had to proactively provide key documents, and she never even asked for our day-of timeline or important contacts. During our rehearsal, she had only printed one page of our ceremony plan and was unfamiliar with the flow. There were also mistakes with the guest list and seating chart, and she mistakenly requested an additional payment the day before our wedding due to a miscount. The only time she was consistently responsive was when it came to payments.
On the wedding day, she seemed disengaged. One of the more stressful moments was when she asked us to remove items from the bridal suite and store them in our vehicles, despite prior arrangements with our original coordinator to have them moved to another room. This last-minute change created unnecessary stress. Additionally, we had provided a detailed Google document with clear instructions, including who to contact instead of us on the day of the wedding. Despite this, she repeatedly messaged me while we were getting ready, adding to an already busy morning.
While she technically did her job, it did not feel like she was invested in making our day as seamless and special as it could have been.
Final thoughts: Newlands works with you and your vision. Since everything is under one roof, the process relieves a lot of stress associated with wedding planning. If you’re planning a wedding at Newlands and are assigned Cha*****, I’d recommend ensuring she aligns with your needs.Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:

Our wedding at Newlands Golf & Country Club was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and the venue itself was stunning, just like we had envisioned.
The attention to detail was remarkable, and every aspect of the day flowed seamlessly. Our guests were impressed, and we received countless compliments on the beautiful setting and excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Anton and Sherryl’ wedding- Feb 15
Overall, our wedding was amazing. From my coordinator, Traci, to our photographer Michelle (with Sherry’s assistance), Lisa’s beautiful decorations, Linda our DJ who guided me through the music selection, Heera our helpful captain who ensured we had our meals, and Ian our friendly videographer—each contributed to making our day special.
The food was good too was excellent and the guests loved it according to them.
If you’re seeking a less stressful wedding planning experience, I highly recommend this company. They provide a comprehensive package, eliminating the need to find separate vendors. However, one consideration is that while the package is all-inclusive, certain services, like obtaining copies of photographs, may require an additional fee.
One aspect I might have approached differently is the table arrangement. I didn’t anticipate that Table #2 would be a bit farther from me than expected. It would have been nice to have arranged the seating differently.
But all in all, it was a fun wedding, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed everything. -

We had a great experience planning our wedding at Newlands. Jessalyn and her team were extremely helpful and supportive all the way up to the big day.
Their DJ Karan was amazing even though he was not Persian and almost all of our songs were Iranian.

Thor Sent on 12/01/2025The Wedding Of Our Dreams
We held our 80-person wedding at Newlands Club this past weekend (Jan 10) and it was the wedding of our dreams! The team at Newlands truly operates at a masterclass level when it comes to hosting weddings. As a gay couple, we were unsure how we would be received but they couldn't have made us more comfortable. The professionalism and customization offered for their wedding packages ensure everyone who books here will receive exactly what they want. We booked the Conservatory Ballroom and while we were unsure if we truly needed such a large space for an intimate gathering, we are so glad we booked it. The glass panels provide such a beautiful backdrop to the ceremony and reception combined with the fact that we added the fairy light details to make it feel as if we are in a snow globe. Lisa from the design studio really helped us along the way to navigate how our vision would be executed in the Newlands fashion and she couldn't have done a better job!
The food was incredible as well, we had the boneless lemongrass chicken, chana masala curry, herb-crusted snapper and carved lamb. My only complaint is that I didn't eat more! Sal, our Room Captain made sure that the tables were fed in a nice order and the service was amazing. My one caveat was the bar, it was a fairly simple bar service more so offering highball-type drinks with limited capacity for more intricate cocktails. There was, however, an offering of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic punch during the room flip which kept our guests happy while we took photos; in addition to wine bottles on each table and a champagne toast.
Speaking of photos, Sherri was the best photographer we could have asked for. We also got our engagement photos done with her and she offered such expertise in lighting and posing. On our actual wedding day, she helped us with location selection and we couldn't have been happier with the sneak peaks we have seen so far! We also opted for the photo booth which was such a hit with our guests so totally recommend that!
As for the music, which is so important, Linda and DJ Anesh were incredible! Music at weddings can be hard, but Anesh made sure the vibes were immaculate and everyone was dancing all night!
And finally, Charlene, our Wedding/Event Coordinator truly went above and beyond! Answering our 1,000,000 emails and even helping us get to our different shooting locations. She helped line us up when it was time to go and helped ensure the wedding went flawlessly. The team at Newlands truly does an incredible job and we would 1,000,000% recommend it for anyone looking to take the pain out of weddings and just basically show up! The all-inclusive option made it so painless, we truly just had to tell them what we wanted and they made it all happen.Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:
